Take if from the Old Cattleman: "Life ain't in holdin a good hand, but in playin' a pore hand well". The wily and tough-as-saddle-leather Old Cattleman should know: he's lived in Wolfville since the early days when it was the "meanest, leanest, roughest, toughest town in the West. Where desperados and mule-skinners, outlaws and lawmen, runaways and rawhiders all drink from the same rusty cup, no questions asked. Where the gun is the law and the lynch rope is the court of last appeal".The Old Cattleman is a home-grown, hand-rolled Homer who has many a tale to tell of the days when the Wild West was truly wild.
